Hi.
I have a list of points describing the outlines points of a
shape. I'd want to find the points of maximum curvature. To
do that I should calculate the tangential angle of each
point on the shape outline ad from these angles I'll
calculate the curvature by differentiation. I was wondering
if there's any matlab function to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Mario
